Diabetes and Saving Money

Managing diabetes can be expensive. The ongoing costs of eating well, keeping blood glucose levels closely monitored, and exercising to an appropriate level can all cost a lot not to mention being extremely time consuming.

Diabetes.co.uk proposes some ways to save money, whilst managing diabetes as well as possible.

Keeping costs down with food shopping

Choosing the cheapest food is not always advisable as the very cheapest food tends to be high in calories but low in overall nutrition. However, there are opportunities to make savings whilst keeping to a healthy diet.

Eating well is a key part of managing diabetes and spending on food is very important, so savings should only be made when quality is not sacrificed.

Buying certain items in bulk and comparing prices between markets and supermarkets are just two ways in which savings can be made.

Save money on diabetes insurance

Shopping around for the most competitive quote for specialist diabetic insurance, such as life, travel and car insurance, can make all the difference to your premium cost.

Having diabetes tends to add to the price of premiums as statistically, we are deemed to cost insurance companies more. Don’t be tempted to not declare diabetes though as, in many cases, doing so will invalidate the policy.
